A place where conquistadors once walked, and where the peaches they left behind now grow, Elberta has seen fierce battles, violent storms, and frantic change--and when the town is once again threatened from without, Janie realizes it won't withstand much more. So she tells the story of its people: of Hugh, her granddaddy, determined to preserve Elberta's legacy at any cost; of his wife, Maybelle, the postmaster, whose sudden death throws the town into chaos; of her lover, Lee Malone, a black orchardist harvesting from a land where he is less than welcome; of the time when Janie kidnapped her own Hollywood-obsessed aunt and tore the wrong people apart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the world closes in on Elberta, Caleb Johnson's debut novel lifts the veil and offers one last glimpse. \u003ci\u003eTreeborne\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebration and a reminder: of how the past gets mixed up in thoughts of the future; of how home is a story as much as a place.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCALEB JOHNSON\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novel \u003ci\u003eTreeborne\u003c\/i\u003e.
